Mendick isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

Mendick drew 12 consecutive starts for the White Sox, but he'll get a breather in Wednesday's series finale. He went just 1-for-14 with a run, two walks and five strikeouts across his last five appearances. Leury Garcia will take over at second base and bat seventh.

Ibanez started at first base and went 1-for-4 in Tuesday's 13-6 loss to the Athletics.

Ibanez made his first start at first base, taking over for Nate Lowe against a left-hander. The Rangers are in full-on evaluation mode, so Ibanez could see regular at-bats in the short-term, which could turn into the long-term if he hits. Ibanez belted a three-run home run Monday, the first day of his callup. Prior to Tuesday, he had played third base and second base.

Albies went 2-for-4 with a run scored and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Mets.

The second baseman has shifted into another gear on the basepaths in June with six of his nine steals on the year. Albies is also slashing .317/.364/.537 on the month with two homers, 11 runs and 18 RBI through 21 games.

Dubon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 5-0 victory over the Angels on Tuesday.

After the Giants put up four runs in the first inning, Dubon added to the tally with a solo homer to center field in the second. The long ball was his first in June after he went deep each of the final two games in May. Dubon has been receiving limited playing time of late -- this was his first start since June 17.

Urias went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Tuesday's win over Arizona.

Urias made his presence felt in the top of the sixth inning with a two-run single that scored both Avisail Garcia and Omar Narvaez, and he now has 32 RBI on the season, the second-best mark on the team behind Avisail Garcia's 41. Urias also extended his hitting streak to six games and owns three multi-hit games in that span.

Marte was removed from Tuesday's game versus Milwaukee with left hamstring tightness, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Marte suffered the injury while rounding first base after hitting a double during the first inning. The 27-year-old missed a month earlier this season due to a strained right hamstring, and he's now managing an injury to the same muscle on his other leg.

Frazier went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two runs scored and a walk Tuesday against the White Sox.

Frazier opened the scoring in the contest with a solo home run in the third inning. It was only his third homer of the season and first since May 29. However, Frazier has managed to deliver in other areas of the box score, as he's hitting an excellent .322/.390/.460 across 308 plate appearances. Despite hitting in a poor lineup, Frazier is Pittsburgh's regular leadoff hitter, and he has been able to rack up 42 runs scored as a result.

Marte was removed from Tuesday's game versus the Brewers with an apparent left leg injury, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

The 27-year-old hit a double during the first inning but appeared to suffer a left leg injury while rounding first base and promptly left the contest. Marte spent over a month on the injured list with a right hamstring strain earlier this season, though Tuesday's injury appears to be unrelated.

The Mets optioned Drury to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The 28-year-old failed to make an impact offensively after being called up May 21, hitting .182 and getting on base at a meager .217 rate. Patrick Mazeika was recalled Tuesday to replace Drury on the Mets' roster.

Lux is not starting Tuesday's game against the Padres, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Lux, who has hit just .158 in 57 at-bats against lefties this season, gets the night off as the Dodgers face southpaw Blake Snell. The infielder has hit .281 with a home run and six RBI in his last nine games. Chris Taylor fills in at shortstop Tuesday while Max Muncy plays second base in his first game off the injured list.
